There are numerous ways to inflict damage in ARK Survival Ascended<\/a>, and while ranged weaponry is a popular choice for most players, melee weapons also have their place in close-range combat or PvP. Unfortunately, melee damage can be limited if you don’t know how to stack the deck in your favor. That’s precisely where this guide comes in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Below, we will demonstrate how to significantly boost your melee damage in ARK Survival Ascended using a simple trick that’s easy to execute, whether you’re a new player or a veteran in the game. So, without further delay, let’s unsheath our swords and pikes and dive right in.<\/span><\/p>\n

How To Increase Your Melee Damage in ARK Survival Ascended<\/span><\/h2>\n

When it comes to achieving high melee damage in ARK Survival Ascended, the key factor isn’t just the weapon you use<\/a>, but rather the damage output from your character. To enhance this, you can employ a simple strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

For this strategy, we will re-spec our points into melee damage using a Mindwipe Tonic and add more melee damage using the Battle Tartare. (Picture: Shane \/ Studio Wildcard)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Firstly, we will be using a Mindwipe Tonic to reset your spendable level points and Engrams. Afterward, allocate all points into melee damage. This can be strategically done before facing a boss or a formidable creature, allowing you to maximize damage potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving on, the final step involves utilizing a Battle Tartare. This consumable provides a substantial boost, offering a +60% increase in melee damage along with added benefits such as +50% movement speed, 15% damage resistance, and improved stamina regeneration.<\/span><\/p>\n

At base damage using this strategy, we can easily get up to 3000 damage. (Picture: Shane \/ Studio Wildcard)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With these enhancements, your character becomes significantly more potent in melee combat. While the sword is an excellent melee weapon with base attacks dealing 1000+ damage and headshots reaching 3000+ (while this strategy is active), the strategy becomes even more impactful with an ascendant level sword, potentially allowing for over 10k damage on headshots and 3k damage on body shots.<\/span><\/p>\n

This combination of stat reallocation using a Mindwipe Tonic and the use of Battle Tartare proves highly effective. It can be applied not only when facing wild dinos but also against other players in PvP and bosses such as the Broodmother<\/a>, Megapithecus<\/a>, and Dragon<\/a>, all of which are susceptible to melee damage. Give this strategy a try, and for crafting assistance with these items, refer to our recipe and cooking guide<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
